By the Xunyang River, there is a pier that has been specially designed to leave a large area of empty space, and a large wave of officials are waiting.
There were many people coming and going outside to watch the excitement, and the officials in Jiangzhou who had been waiting for a long time began to whisper.
At the front of the group of officials, there are roughly three groups standing, faintly distinct.
Wang Lengran and his officials; Ouyang Rong and Wang Xunyang's family; Rong Zhen, Miaozhen and other female officials stood in the middle.
"Here comes someone."
In the bleak autumn wind, Wang Lengran was the first to wait impatiently:
"Chen Canjun, why hasn't Mr. Qin's ship arrived yet? Didn't your department report that it was from 2:00 am to 2:00 noon? What time is it now? Why did the prince and the female historian wait for so long?"
Chen You, who was behind, took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Xunyang Wang Lixian, Rong Zhen and Miaozhen, then faced Wang Lengre and said with a bitter face:
"The messenger from Yangzhou said so in the letter the day before yesterday. The official confirmed the itinerary to them again and again before notifying the adults... Logically, it should have come. It's strange."
Wang Lengran was a little restless: "Maybe something happened on the road... Why is it so late?"
After saying that, he glanced at Ouyang Lianghan, who was standing with Prince Xunyang and his son not far away, and looked a little unhappy.
In order to welcome Qin Jingqin today and leave a good impression on him, Wang Lengran spent a lot of money, spent a lot of effort, and prepared for a long time.
Wine, food, and beautiful scenery are all available.
In particular, Wang Lengran learned from Wei's source that Qin Jingqin was a gourmet who loved food very much. He was recuperating in the prosperous Yangzhou, which may be the reason why he tasted all the Jiangnan delicacies.
The average life span of the Zhou Dynasty was no more than fifty years old, but those who could live to seventy or eighty years old were already living a long life.
Other old men in their 70s and 80s have either lost all their teeth or walk with a cane. This Qin Jingqin is better. It is even more outrageous than "can old man Lian Po still eat"?
Big, tall and strong body.
This time, after discussing with the Political Affairs Hall, the empress dared to use this veteran with confidence because he was an old man and his condition was very different from that of an ordinary old man.
Since you like to eat, you should do what you like. Wang Lengran sent people to collect special delicacies from various places in Jiangzhou.
As long as he waits for Qin Jingqin to get off the ship, all the arrangements will be made to ensure that he has enough to eat and that he will not be able to bring anything the same for ten days in a row.
Wang Lengran felt that he was full of sincerity this time.
In particular, all of his actions were relatively low-key and concealed from Ouyang Lianghan and the Prince of Xunyang. Moreover, just a few days ago, Ouyang Lianghan took his new Jiangzhou captain Li Fusu on an inspection tour and was not in the city.
Just in the morning, when everyone gathered at the pier, Wang Lengran took a look at it calmly and immediately became happy.
Sure enough, Ouyang Lianghan and the Prince of Xunyang arrived at the scene except for people and carriages, but did not prepare much to entertain Qin Jingqin. Prince Xunyang Lixian should have followed the path of a polite corporal, and only brought his son, wife and daughter to greet him.
Wang Lengran sneered in his heart.
Qin Jingqin is not just a poor scholar with muddy legs, a serious son of the Duke of Guan, and a noble of Guanlong.
Now that Qin Jingqin has won the post of general manager of the march in Jiangnan Road, even the King of Wei has to retreat voluntarily, give up military power, and greet him with a smile.
Nowadays, the Qin family is very popular in both the government and the public.
If you don't come up with something substantial, Corporal Li Xian is of no use. Why are you just trying to win over poor people like Ouyang Lianghan and just rely on the name of King Xunyang to make a big cake?
The ancestors of the powerful people in Guanlong were tired of eating these blueprint cakes since the Long Dynasty.
Today is different from the past. Now the pie eaten by their ancestors has been successfully fulfilled. They have been fattened and sat on the chessboard. They can vote among the candidates for the imperial heir such as the Wei family, Xiang Wangfu, Xunyang Wangfu, etc., or sit on the chessboard.
Watch the tiger fight, whoever wins will follow.
If you don’t provide some actual benefits and provide delicacies from mountains and seas, why should others help you?
Or are you fooling yourself with sincerity, feelings and other bland cakes?
When people eat cakes and eat cakes, they become stunned?
Moreover, if we really want to talk about sincerity, Wang Lengran feels that the sincerity of their Wei family is no worse than that of Prince Xunyang's Mansion.
As early as the first time that Qin Jingqin, who was idle in Yangzhou, was appointed by the empress, the Wei Palace had already sent people to Yangzhou, and in the name of sending a verbal message to the Wei King to hand over the military power of the conquest army, they contacted the Qin family in Yangzhou, vaguely showing goodwill.
In addition, the Wei family also found out that Qin Jingqin's eldest granddaughter, Qin Ying, was not yet married, but was currently in the process of getting married.
After the King of Wei learned about it, the letter specifically chose a certain outstanding young master in the palace who was just the right age and was in need of a good match as the topic, hinting at the Qin family.
In order to broker this matter, the Wei Palace also sent a letter to Wang Lengran, asking him to act as a matchmaker in Xunyang City this time...
With all these things, Wang Lengran was fully prepared for today.
Especially when I came here this morning to take a look, Prince Xunyang's Mansion was indeed unprepared.
If both parties who come to greet you are unprepared, or both are prepared, forget it.
But now the green leaves are lined with red flowers.
On the one hand, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas, the gifts are well prepared, and the welcome is warm.
On the other hand, there were no welcome gifts or ceremonial pomp.
Compare the two.
From the perspective of the guests, it is obvious which party seems to attach importance to it and which party seems to despise it.
However, Wang Lengran did not take it completely lightly.
The last time at the birthday banquet organized by Xie Xue'e, he was overturned by Ouyang Lianghan with a broken umbrella as a gift, and he still remembered how he was slapped in the face in turn in front of everyone.
In order to prevent Ouyang Lianghan from secretly preparing the painting saint's legacy to please Qin Jingqin, Wei also spent a lot of money in Chang'an to purchase a painting by Wu Taoist and sent it to Wang Lengran as a meeting gift this morning. It was both elegant and expensive...
…
Wang Lengran's preparations were naturally seen by Li Xian and Li Dalang, who came lightly dressed. The father and son figured out the connection and were naturally very anxious.
Roll, this Wei family actually gave a roll as a gift!
They hurriedly asked Princess Wei Mei to bring people back to the palace to prepare a large gift. Although it may not be as good as the Wei family who had a lot of money and devoted herself to their own needs and prepared for many days, at least they could not lack the attitude. The original small gift for meeting was not accepted at all.
No more action.
Originally, it was too late for Li Xian and his son to wake up. It was too late.
But who would have thought that Qin Jingqin's ship would be delayed. After a quarter of noon, it was still delayed.
Seeing that the meal was over and it was almost afternoon, there was still no trace of Yangzhou boats on the Xunyang River.
Then the Xunyang Prince's Mansion, who realized later, took advantage of this time, endured the pain and bleeding, and almost prepared the gifts and lavish arrangements.
This made Wang Lengre frown more and more, becoming irritable and unhappy.
"Hurry up, don't be stupid, send someone to inquire quickly and see if there is any urgent message delivered to Jiangzhou Hall... If Mr. Qin encounters a problem on the road and delays the court's counterinsurgency, we will not be able to bear it.
Let’s go!”
His tone was urging.
"Yes." Chen You accepted the order and retreated, sending someone back to the Jiangzhou lobby to investigate.
Ouyang Rong turned a deaf ear to Wang Lengre's little thoughts today.
Just now, Li Fusu asked Wei Mei to replenish the gifts and pomp, but he thought about it and didn't stop her.
Ouyang Rong is wearing a snow-white cloak and a fox-white fur shawl today, both of which were given by the Prince of Xunyang. At this moment, he is standing in the cold wind, looking at the river view, his long sleeves waiting quietly.
Ouyang Rong said nothing, but Li Xian and Li Fusu exchanged glances next to them.
They looked back and saw Princess Wei Mei returning after taking care of herself, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Lengran shook his official sleeves, snorted coldly, and moved his hands behind his back.
On the other side, Rong Zhen and Miaozhen looked at each other without saying anything, but Miaozhen turned around and left with several female officials.
Just as everyone at the dock was either frowning or waiting worriedly.
Chen You hurried back:
"We found someone!
"Your Majesty, Governor Wang, Chief Ouyang, Marshal Qin... He has arrived at the Jiangzhou lobby and asked me to call you back to discuss the matter of suppressing the rebellion."
Li Xian, Li Dalang, and Wang Lengran were all stunned.
Miaozhen stopped to investigate and looked at Rong Zhen in surprise.
Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly:
“Why is there no boat in Xunyang Ferry?”
"Marshal Qin seems to have disembarked at Shuangfeng Peak and has already entered the city."
Chen You sighed and everyone was speechless.
Woohoo, it's a little late... There will be a big chapter at twelve o'clock, I won't be confused, I will spend the New Year with my brothers
